Implementation of 3D Printing in Various Healthcare Settings: A Scoping Review

Abstract

3D printing has been one of the recent buzzwords, along with Machine learning and AI. The combination of these three provides a great deal of improvisation in health education and healthcare management techniques. This paper studies various implementations of 3D printing solutions. Shortly, AI combined with 3D printing would revolutionize the healthcare industry in most areas, not just limited to human implants, pharmaceuticals, tissue engineering/regenerative medicine, education, and other evidence-based decision support systems. 3D printing is a manufacturing method in which objects are made by fusion or depositing materials such as plastic, metals, ceramics, powder, liquids, or even living cells in layers to produce a desired 3D-Object.
